Father confirms Liverpool have made contact to sign exciting winger | OneFootball

Liverpool could hit two birds with one stone if they are to sign the latest name being linked with the club.

According to the father of Roland Sallai, Szoboszlai's international teammate, Liverpool have already made contact to sign the Galatasaray winger.

"Liverpool could be such a destination, and I admit, I wouldn't be surprised if this club change happened now, in the winter," Tibor Sallai told Blikk.

"I know that contact has already been made through a management office. I don't want to and I don't want to shout anything, but my son will really have a good chance in the summer, if there is an offer that is also beneficial for Galatasaray, to change country and level. It wouldn't be just any moment if Liverpool were to run out onto the Anfield Road turf with three Hungarians in the starting lineup."

Sallai's father is referencing the fact that Liverpool already have Milos Kerkez and Szoboszlai playing for them.

Here's why this could be a really good move for Liverpool. While Sallai is a little bit on the more experienced side he is an extremely versatile player.

Predominantly, he is a winger. He has been playing that position ever since he started his career in senior football.

But this season Sallai has also become a right-back at Galatasaray. He's played really well in that position, impressing against Juventus and Manchester City in the Champions League, while coming up against some really tricky wingers.

So, there should be no surprise that he would be on Liverpool's radar. Sallai is the type of player Liverpools' recruitment team have loved over the last few years.

He can solve a problem at right-back, he can provide depth on the wings, and on top of that he's even played through the middle for Hungary's national team, so he could potentially be used as a false nine, too.
